ZIGADENUS LEIMANTHOIDES (Gray) Wats. The most cursory 
examination of Tracyanthus teranus (Bush) Small, Fl. 8.E.U.S. 
ed. 2. 1329 (1913) would have shown, since the perianth-segments 
bear well-developed glands, that it is a Zigadenus and that it can- 
not be distinguished from the above species. Z. leimanthoides has 
heretofore been known only from as far west as Louisiana. Small 
regards this species as meriting generic rank and has proposed for 
it the name Oceanoros, basing it on two characters, the polygamous 
' flowers and the “ fibrous-coated rootstocks.”’ Unfortunately some 
specimens apparently have only perfect flowers and certainly the 
“ rootstocks ”’ of other Zigadeni are more or less fibrous-coated, 
the degree to which this attains being purely a relative matter. 
The genus Tracyanthus Small is separated from Amianthium on 
characters which likewise are merely relative, of slight extent, and 
therefore by no means to be considered as of generic value. 
Oakesia floridana (Chapm.), comb. nov. Uvularia floridana 
Chapm. Fl. S.U.S. 487 (1860). Oakesiella floridana (Chapm.) 
Small, Fl. S.E.U.S. 272 (1903). 
One of the salient features of this species does not appear to 
have been indicated, namely, the well-developed beak at the 
summit of the capsule. Harper has collected O. floridana in 
Georgia and Alabama. 
Andr ium (Cav.), comb. nov. Melanthium 
gramineum Cav. Anal. Cienc Nat. iii. 49 Sgn & Icones Pl. Rar.

Tricyrtis maculata (D. Don), comb. nov. Compsoa maculata D 
Don, Prod. Fl. Nepal. 51 (1825). . pilosa Wall. Tent. Fi. Nepal. 
ii. 62 (1826). 
In spite of the fact that Hooker, Baker and others have agreed 
on the identity of the plant of D. Don and that of Wallich they have 
failed to take up the former’s name which has priority. 
Tricyrtis clinata, spec. nov., erecta. circa 6 dm. alta ubique 
mediocriter villosa; caulibus basi ad apicem plus minusve flexuosis 
et aequabiliter foliosissimis ; foliis caulinis ovato-lanceolatis 
caudato-acuminatis, basi cordato-amplexicaulibus 5(-6)-nerviis
